It actually took me a number of years to watch 'Grease' in its entirety. I first saw it many years ago but never did I get the chance to finish it. Needless to say it took about four or five more tries until I saw the whole thing. Personally, it's the kind of movie that is bad at first, but by a couple of full screenings, it's good.
Well, I like it now. The cast is great, the songs are fun and addicting, and the singing and the dancing (but specifically the singing because some of those actors just could not sing even though I like ALL of them) are a little weak but I guess there has to be a low point to every movie.
John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are perfect together. They make a perfect team. I know that they're the main characters, but I've got to really hand it to the entire cast because this is one of those casts that just clicks. Everybody is wonderful, even those actors with the tiniest of roles.
While the plot is a little iffy, it somehow pulls through probably because of all those entertaining dance/sing sequences. All of those scenes are choreographed and performed well. And you know what? Any movie that leaves a song, or in this case, a number of songs, in my head well after the film has ended is okay by me. Yeah, it's a little annoying how there ARE so many darn songs throughout 'Grease', but that's what makes it good, I suppose.
Everything else such as set decoration (yes, I have to point that out because it looked very good), and the actual writing, though limited due to the movie actually being a musical, were great.
It's safe to say that I like 'Grease.' I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's one of the best movies ever made, but it is good. It took me a while to finally watch the whole thing, but I'm glad I did because it's...fun.
